With just three games left in Wisconsin's regular season, there is plenty of speculation swirling about where the No. 6 Badgers will wind up playing their bowl game.
A year ago, senior offensive lineman Bill Nagy played in just three games.What a difference one season can make.
If you're like me—that is, if you're a Green Bay Packers fan and you scour newspapers and websites to satiate your NFL appetite between Sundays—chances are head coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson have moved you to bang your head against the nearest solid surface at least a handful of times.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Coming off its bye week, No. 7 Wisconsin (4-1 Big Ten, 8-1 overall) turned in a half-full performance in a half-hostile environment, but used three second half interceptions to beat Purdue (2-3, 4-5) 34-13 in West Lafayette, Ind.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Coming off its bye week, No. 7 Wisconsin (4-1 Big Ten, 8-1 overall) turned in a half-full performance in a half-hostile environment, but used three second half interceptions to beat Purdue (2-3, 4-5) 34-13 in West Lafayette, Ind.
When No. 7 Wisconsin (3-1 Big Ten, 7-1 overall) returns from a bye week for Saturday's conference rumble against Purdue (2-2, 4-4), the buzz that accompanied each of the Badgers' last two games may not be as pronounced.
At times during No. 7 Wisconsin's last two games, victories against defensively stout opponents in Ohio State and Iowa, the Badgers running attack bordered on unstoppable.
Two weeks ago, with one conference loss already in hand, Ohio State and Iowa looming on the schedule and nary a complete performance to speak of, any bowl discussion among Badger fans likely started closer to Insight than BCS.
IOWA CITY-Adversity tends to manifest itself on the road.
Before the Wisconsin football team ever loaded up the team plane and flew to Las Vegas to kick off the 2010 season, conventional wisdom pointed toward this two-week stretch—including dates with Ohio State and Iowa—as the defining stretch of a promising season. An uninspiring, if not unsurprising, loss in East Lansing temporarily threatened to mute all of that talk, but after bludgeoning the Buckeyes on Saturday, UW is one win away from leaping right back into conference championship relevance.
To beat any opponent, making big plays in timely situations will benefit the cause. Against the top-ranked team in the country, such execution is necessary.
The No. 15 Badgers (3-1) did not put on equal performances in this weekend's series against the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers (1-3), but managed to achieve wins on both nights.
It took all of twelve seconds on Saturday night for the Badgers to make it known that No. 1 Ohio State was in for a fight. For the 59:48 following senior wide receiver David Gilreath's opening 97-yard kick return touchdown, UW used a lethal combination of offensive balance and defensive intensity to ensure that everybody heard the message.
Short of a visit from the nation's commander-in-chief, the buzz surrounding Saturday's match between the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1 Big Ten, 5-5 overall) and the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes 2-0, 6-0) is as palpable as any campus event this year. With an evening start, a national television audience and a top-ranked opponent in the house, the atmosphere is sure to be electric from sun-up to well past dark.
It is safe to say that, of the two largest athletic facilities on campus, Camp Randall Stadium will garner most of the attention this weekend. Over at the Kohl Center, though, the staff better have the Zamboni machines fired up, Phil better have his white sweater clean, and the band better have ""The Time Warp"" cued up.
City Bar $2.50 Schlitz bottles, $3.50 Jack Daniels Mixers
Maybe you have a really nasty string of exams early in the week, maybe your Thursday morning discussion is cancelled or maybe you've just read the Packers mid-week injury report and decide it's time for a drink. Whatever your reason, there will undoubtedly be a Wednesday night when the bar scene pops up on your radar screen. The middle of the week always provides the most tempting specials, and it's easy to get caught up trying to make a decision. Food can be a great tiebreaker. Wednesday nights at Brothers feature 5 Miller High Life bottles for $6.00 to go along with $.10 wings. If that doesn't sound like a perfect mid-week study break for dudes, what does? Fear not, though, ladies, if the High Life isn't your game this Madison-classic also offers 2-for-1 Bacardi mixers. There are other options out there, but come Wednesday, bet on Brothers.
In the first, third and fourth quarters Saturday, the Badgers looked like a football team starting to find its rhythm at just the right time. It is quarters like the second, however, that Wisconsin cannot afford against Ohio State and Iowa the next two weeks.
Without a spat after the game that manifested itself at midfield between Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster and Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema in regards to Bielema's decision to try for the two point conversion despite being up by 25 points in the fourth quarter, this would have been one of the least dramatic battles for Paul Bunyan's Axe in recent memory.
In the most literal sense of the term, the No. 13 Wisconsin men's hockey team will have a new look when it opens its season this weekend against Boston University in the Ice Breaker Tournament this weekend in St. Louis.
